The cultural history of climate change: conference
Friday, 27 July 2012 - Saturday, 28 July 2012

Recognition of this interaction opens a significant new field to historical inquiry, bringing the economic, political and technological history of the carbon cycle together with cultural, aesthetic and literary reflections of climate, and linking the emergence of ecological thinking to broader transformations in the organization of knowledge. more»
